It's too late for I'm sorry
You're packing up the dishes like you're moving to L.A.
And I'll think of you always
But in this room with you, well, there's nothing left to say
I know it's over now
I know it's over now
Oh
So hold me like the very first time
‘Cause we both know that it could be the last, yeah, uh
Oh hold me like the very first time
‘Cause we both know that it could be
We both know that it could be the last
You turned back in the doorway
Yeah something made you stop and give me one last look goodbye
And in your eyes I saw it
It wasn't all just heartache, there's some good we'll leave behind
I know it's over now
I know it's over now
Oh
So hold me like the very first time
‘Cause we both know that it could be the last, yeah

Ulysses
03:20
|

|
Something about the way you move inside a room
Makes me want to get to know you
Want to stay up late and hold you all night long
‘Til we wake up in the morning light
We put our faces on, ride the train an hour long
The day will come, the day will go again
On the outside I look busy
On the inside I'm Ulysses and you're my
Calypso on an island made of sand
And I never want to make it back to land
Ba-va-da-va-da-da
Ba-va-da-va-da va-da-va-da
Something about the way you make me feel at home
Makes me wish I had a spare room
Keep your toothbrush and your perfume at my place
Yeah we might be moving in too fast
How can I maintain my distance
You're the path of least resistance you're my
Calypso on an island made of sand
And I never want to make it back to land
Ba-va-da-va-da-da
Ba-va-da-va-da-da

Mr. Potter

Dear Mr. Potter
I hope you're well
And though we've met once, I don't remember
You held me when I was only a year
It would appear you knew my mother
Dear Mr. Potter
I found your notes
They were locked up in my mother's dresser
My father, for all his saving grace
was always too late, you had her heart first
You see my mother, she fell in love with a black man in the sixties
But Grandpa wouldn't let that be
Oh my mother, she met him every year down in Mississippi
And that love makes you family
Dear Mr. Potter
I'm sad to say
My dear mother has passed away
I wish I could tell you it was a lie
But all this to say
You deserve a goodbye
You see my mother, she fell in love with a black man in the sixties
But Grandpa wouldn't let that be
Oh my mother, she met him every year down in Mississippi
And that love makes you family
Now I know why she cried during "Same Time Next Year"
And I know when she died, she'd have had you near
But her peace wasn't peaceful as most
No funeral, no holy ghost
No her peace wasn't peaceful as most
No funeral, no holy ghost
You see my mother, she fell in love with a black man in the sixties
But Grandpa wouldn't let that be
Oh my mother, she met him every year down in Mississippi
And love makes you family
Oh my mother, she fell in love with a black man in the sixties
But Grandpa wouldn't let that be
Oh my mother, she met him every year down in Mississippi
And love makes you family
Oh my mother
Yes my mother
Oh my mother
And love makes you family
Oh my mother
Yes my mother
Oh my mother, yah
And love makes you family

I just want you to be happy
Take your burdens for a while
Yeah I could always make you smile
But what you need, well, it ain't laughing
It's the family you ain't having
And I know it's gonna be a while
And yeah, I think about you all the time
I'll live without you, I'll be fine
Just knowing you live with someone else
I hope you don't feel alone
I can't be the one to care for you honey
I hope you don't feel alone
I can't be the one to hold you in the night
I can't be the one to care for you honey
I hope you don't feel alone
I hope you don't feel alone
I would help you move a mountain
Yeah, I'd push with all my might
Even though I'd lose the fight
But what you need might be a rockslide
To take you on a wild ride
And carry you out of sight
Yeah, I think about you all the time
I'll live without you I'll be fine
Just knowing you're happy somewhere else
I hope you don't feel alone
I can't be the one to care for you honey
I hope you don't feel alone
I can't be the one to hold you in the night
I can't be the one to care for you honey
I hope you don't feel alone
I hope you don't feel alone
I hope you don't feel alone
I can't be the one to care for you honey
I hope you don't feel alone
I can't be the one to hold you in the night
I can't be the one to care for you honey
I hope you don't feel alone
I hope you don't feel alone
I hope you don't feel alone
I hope you don't feel alone

Standing on My Own
04:15
|
|||
|
I've never built a coffee table, birdhouse, or a chair where I could sit
My hands don't show a lifetime of pain, or sweat, or sacrifice, or grit
I've placed upon the mantle some photographs of moments I was in
But I didn't build the picture frames, I can't tell you where they've been
What I've built is who I am
I'm rough around the edges, but I'm still standing
I'm still standing, I'm standing on my own
I built myself out of blood and bone
And I'm standing on my own
I've taken it for granted that I am where I am 'cause of where I been
That everything that's happened to me brought me here so I could live again
And sure there's things I've never done like raise a child or read "Of Mice and Men"
It's hard enough to make a man that anyone would want to call a friend
What I've built is who I am
And I'm rough around the edges, but I'm still standing
I'm still standing, I'm standing on my own
Someday I'm gonna build myself a home
'Cause I'm standing on my own
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh Oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh Oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh Oh oh
I'm still standing, I'm standing on my own
Someday I'm gonna build myself a home
Cause I'm standing on my own
I built myself out of blood and bone
And I'm standing on my own
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh Oh oh

Broken Bird
03:51
|
|||
|
It was always some big tear up in the morning
'Cause you had stayed out late the night before
Your friends had found some castle to be stormin'
But she just thought you met some paramour
She needed that broken bird
(She needed that broken bird)
She needed that broken bird
(She needed that broken bird)
But you ain't the one
You ain't the one
It's no wonder things are going wrong between ya
That you're spending nights alone in some motel
And the things you might be saying are obscene, but
Soon you'll just be ringing passing bells
She needed that broken bird
(She needed that broken bird)
She needed that broken bird
(She needed that broken bird)
But you ain't the one
You ain't the one
'Cause you can fly, fly away
You can fly
You can fly, fly away
You can fly - y
She needed that broken bird
She needed that broken bird
But you ain't the one
Oh you ain't the one
She needed that broken bird
(She needed that broken bird)
She needed that broken bird
(She needed that broken bird)
But you ain't the one
You ain't the one
She needed that broken bird
(She needed that broken bird)
(She needed that broken bird)
She needed that broken bird
(She needed that broken bird)
(She needed that broken bird)
But you ain't the one
You ain't the one
She needed that broken bird
(She needed that broken bird)
(She needed that broken bird)
She needed that broken bird
(She needed that broken bird)
(She needed that broken bird)
But you ain't the one
You ain't the one

Hold Me Up
02:37
|
|||
|
I remember falling down at your feet
I was dead drunk and stumbling in the street
And as I lay there on my back and watched the stars come out
I asked you if you'd take me home
Hold me up
Hold me up
'Cause I've fallen once again into your arms
Here we are again at a quarter past ten
Wishing all the promises would have held up in the end
But I keep on sliding backwards when the night begins
And change is always harder than I think it is
Hold me up
Hold me up
'Cause I've fallen once again into your arms
Yeah hold me now
I'm lost I'm down
'Cause I've fallen through the cracks too many times
And if we never call this love
Will you still hold me up
'Cause I've fallen through the cracks so many times
And if we never call this love
Would you still hold me up
'Cause I've fallen once again into your arms
Yes I've fallen once again into your arms
Yes I've fallen once again into your arms

Take What You Want
03:42
|

|
So take what you want
'Cause baby there's nothing left to lose, 'cept you
So take what you want from me
Take what you want from me
We got time before us
There ain't no clock that's counting down the hours
I love every moment that I spend in your arms
We don't need no shelter
Where ever we go we keep each other dry
And I'm never afraid no more
I know thunder's just an alibi
I'm warm in your love
It's always enough
So take what you want
'Cause baby there's nothing left to lose, 'cept you
So take what you want from me
Take what you want from me
'Cause I've got time, and I'll give it all to you, yes you
So take what you want from me (Take what you want)
Take what you want from me (Take what you want)
You can leave me breathless
When I'm alone I turn this shade of blue
And take all my loneliness
If you feel you need some time for you
If you need some sunlight
I'll clear the clouds right from the sky
I'll get fame and riches baby
If you need that kind of guy
And all that I own
Means nothing alone
So take what you want
'Cause baby there's nothing left to lose, 'cept you
So take what you want from me
Take what you want from me
I've got time, and I'll give it all to you, yes you
So take what you want from me (Take what you want)
Take what you want from me (Take what you want)
When I've nothing left to my name (Nothing left)
Will you love me just the same
So take what you want
'Cause baby there's nothing left to lose, 'cept you
So take what you want from me
Take what you want from me
I've got time, and I'll give it all to you, yes you
So take what you want from me (Take what you want)
Take what you want from me (Take what you want)
Take what you want from me
Take what you want from me

Fall Apart
03:24
|
|||
|
I know there's times when I fall apart
And I know I leave you stumbling through the dark
In my head there's a shadow on the wall
This light is throwing a monster fifty feet tall
If I could let it go I know there's nothing there at all
I know there's times when I fall apart
And I know I'm off the tracks before I even start
I am running from a shadow when the lights go out
I am running from a shadow when the lights go out
I hold my breath until there's nothing but a shadow of doubt
And I know there's nothing there at all
Nothing there at all
In my head there's a shadow on the wall
This light is throwing a monster fifty feet tall
And I know there's nothing
I know there's nothing there at all
In my head there's a shadow on the wall
This light is throwing a monster fifty feet tall
And I know there's nothing
I know there's nothing there at all
I know there's times when I fall when I fall
When I fall when I fall oh woah oh
Oh woah oh
I know

I Will Wander
03:31
|
|||
|
I keep leaving for a week, or two, or three
To Vancouver, or Japan, or to Paris
When I kiss you as you walk me to the door
It's a promise you'll be with me on the shore
'Cause I will wander, oh I will
I will climb up the highest hill
I will steam on when you're standing still
But I'll always come back to you
I'll be packing, throwing clothes into a case
You'll be laughing with a smile upon your face
A few days later, when I'm lonely in my room
I'll find the note you hid inside my shoes
'Cause I will wander, oh I will
I will climb up the highest hill
I will steam on when you're standing still
But I'll always come back to you
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
I will wander, oh I will
I will climb up the highest hill
I will steam on when you're standing still
But I'll always come back to you
Oh I'll always come back
Yes I will wander, oh I will
I will climb up the highest hill
I will steam on when you're standing still
But I'll always
Yes I'll always come back to you
